LOS ANGELES – Are you a lighting designer or installer looking to rent Elation fixtures for an upcoming production job, but don't know where to find them? The answer may now be as close as your computer. Elation Professional has entered into an agreement with Production Exchange to establish a sub-portal on the company's interactive website that will allow customers to locate and rent Elation lighting and video products online.

Fast and easy to use, the new Production Exchange portal offers a convenient way for customers to search for specific Elation products and find out within minutes who has them available for rent.

Such accurate, up-to-the-minute information is made possible, because the portal is seamlessly integrated into the rental management software of a network of Elation dealers throughout the nation.

Being able to obtain and Elation rental products more quickly and easily will provide a big advantage to lighting professionals, said Eric Loader, director of sales for Elation Professional. “We decided to establish our Production Exchange portal because we were getting so many calls from customers asking, â€˜Do you know who has this or that product for rent?'” said Loader. “Now designers and installers will be able to go online and find the rental products they need immediately and in real-time. They'll be assured of getting the exact Elation lighting and video products required for a job, in the quantities needed, right when they need them.
